New Day...

...at the office. More work to be done, more programming to hack, and to add to that, its nice and sunny outside....fiddlesticks.

For some reason, I keep on changing the name of this blog, I still can't decide on what I should call it. Any suggestions?

Just remembered the other day I was watching the BBCs Best British Sit-com, in which "Only Fools & Horses" won. Although very good, I really wanted "Blackadder" to win (it came in second nonetheless).

Nothing delights me more that to watch Edmund Blackadder to makes his jaunts and jibes at the cruel world which he is so pitifully put in. Although the shenanigans and trouble he gets into is mostly his fault, it further deepens when his dim sidekick Baldrick gets involved - ah, you just gotta see it.

I have noticed lately that I have been watching nothing but sit-coms or comedy sketches. Maybe I am trying to devoid myself of the cruel reality. I find life hard enough as it is without coming home and switch on the TV and watch dramas about murders and see that on the news that there is another suicidal bombing somewhere in the world. Its just too depressing. I think people should just lighten-up a little.

There's seems to be a lot of news with regards to the MP3 downloading problem. I don't understand why to be honest. No matter what the music industry does, it will never get ahead of the underground people who find new, innovative ways to distribute music. These people are always seem to be a step ahead. Maybe the music industry should employ these people to help them develop products/services?

Do I donwload music? Yeah, sometimes. But my taste in music is very strange and obscure. I tend to listen Japanese chart music, or Japanese soundtracks from Animes. Where the hell do I go to buy such CDs in the UK? No where in my experience. There was one place in North London, but that has gone now, so where now? Internet of course!

Well, I run out of things to say, as my life isn't that exciting, so all I have is my thoughts and ideas. Hope it doesn't bore you too much.

OK, back to work, more Perl programming....oh there's a Llama on my reference book...cool.

Lunch with Grandma Ng - Japanese Style

For lunch, after praying at Grandpa's resting place, we set off to a local Japanese restuarant which Grandma likes very much. I went for the roasted eel in teriyaki sauce with rice. It was really really nice, and could have had another two bowls. Grandma's favourite dish was the barbecued squid. We also have pan-fried dumplings, beef rice-don, and my Aunt ordered her favourite sushi rolls. Really enjoyed that meal! More photos here .

Its been a while!

Hey all, sorry, had been away for so long.  Sometimes have so many things going on and so many thoughts, not sure what to write. Life update is that we've moved out of the in-laws place, and renting an apartment in the city.  It's not brand new. No lifts, and we live on the top floor, but it's my home now. Just recently been in hospital for stomach ulcers causing internal bleeding.  Nightmare, when you wasn't allowed to eat or drink for 4 days.  But I'm back home now, but only this morning, I discovered I now have a gout attack.  FML. Anyway, life continues to surprise or annoy me in new and fascinating ways. Mimi is still with us by the way, always staying loyal and guarding. Until next time.

Homeward Bound

Hello again, thought I'd give an update of what's going on in my mundane life. After chatting with my wife, We will be moving back to my parents's home in Manchester (well Ashon-under-Lyne to be precise). We feel it would be better for her to have people around like our friends and family should anything happen. Plus I get to hang out with my friends again! As with my work, I will still be working at my current job in London. The plan is that I will be travelling to London to work in the office for three days (Tuesday to Thrusday) and work from home in Manchester for the other two days. I felt it was a good compromise, and I'll get something back for the travel and accommodation costs (some but not all), plus I'll will be stilling working and earning the dough. Now we're in the middle of putting stuff in boxes ready for the big move in mid-June. Dug out a lot of stuff that we don't need, so we'll be holding a car boot sale to make some ca...
